Days 2,3, and 4: Chobe River boat safari en route to Adventurer Camp, Linyanti concession, Botswana
Depart Zambia on a road transfer to the Chobe National Park in Botswana. From the border post at Kasane where the four countries of Botswana, Zambia, Namibia and Zimbabwe meet, you will be taken on a leisurely boat cruise on the Chobe River. The Chobe is famous for its huge herds of elephants and it's common to see them swimming in the river. It also home to lots of hippo and crocodiles!
Continue onto the Linyati region, an interesting game drive up to the northernmost tip of Botswana. The Linyati has constantly changing landscapes and its perennial waters attract migratory animals that follow established game paths looking for water in the dry season. These thirsty herds attract a wide range of predators which makes for exciting game viewing. The Adventurer Camp is pre-erected in a special place in the Linyati private concession.
Days 5, 6 and 7: Adventurer Camp, Khwai Concession, Okavango Delta, Botswana
Transfer to the airstrip for light aircraft flight to Khwai Adventurer Camp in the Khwai Concession of the Moremi Game Reserve.
